About the center
Overview
The University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center is recognized throughout the Midwest and the nation as one of the leading innovators in cancer research, quality patient care and active community involvement. UW Carbone Cancer Center is the only comprehensive cancer center in Wisconsin, as designated by the National Cancer Institute. The University of Wisconsin Blood and Marrow Transplant Program is accredited by the Foundation for Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). FACT accreditation ensures patients, medical professionals, health insurance companies and the government that our program exceeds standards in patient care and laboratory practices. We were among the first transplant centers worldwide to achieve accreditation in 1999. We are a multidisciplinary team of transplant professionals, working together toward the goal of providing the best possible outcomes for our patients by providing evidence-based, innovative, and compassionate care.
This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 1981 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since December 1990.
